Finished Harvoni. Safe to get a massage?
« on: January 17, 2017, 12:59:45 pm »
Hello folks. I finished up harvoni a week and a half ago and  my lab results came back undetected. Both at 6 weeks and also EOT. My question is whether getting a massage this Thursday would be safe? I've heard mixed reports about toxins being released after a massage and wanted to get some feedback. Thanks guys

not sure as im not a doctor but Massaging is thought to release toxins i cant see this being a problem because the toxins are in your body your cleansing your body by releasing them. releasing them would not cause your body to become toxic. as the toxins are already in your body.

Thanks guys! That makes perfect sense andrew! It should make that long 12 week wait a little easier!
